In most cases, clogged ears are a consequence of earwax (cerumen) buildup, or by the presence of liquids. Another important cause of this annoying ear problem is the sudden (fast) pressure change in the environment. This is the main reason why many passengers in air traffic complain about congested ears, after the flight. Other reasons may be the appearance of viral infections, sinusitis, allergies, dysfunction of the Eustachian tube, middle ear problems, and a disease of the inner ear.

Olive oil is easiest and, most probably, the safest way to get rid of the accumulated earwax,­­ in the comforts of your home. But, if you have an ear injury, it’s not recommendable to use it.

Garlic on the other side, is considered as one of the healthiest foods in the world. It has powerful antioxidant properties, making it suitable for the treatment of many different diseases and health disorders.
